    “People” = literally one guy who has the tools and skills to disassemble an SSD board. Sure, it does leave the door open to third parties doing this as a service. Kinda jumping the gun on this though.

      From the article this has lead a group to reverse engineer the proprietary board and start a Kickstarter to make it more accessible, which is pretty exciting (hopefully Apple doesn’t find a way to kill it)

        It’s why I bought Apple stocks long before I bought any Apple products. I had faith in Apple consumers.

    Good! Much as I begrudge apple as a company, I’m glad users are still finding ways to upgrade and maintain the tech they use
